    Mallory and the Ghost Cat

    OMG, Mallory’s found a ghost cat! Or a reincarnation cat? Or possibly just a regular cat? This book definitely comes down on the side of “ghosts are real”, but is EXTREMELY vague on what ghosts actually are and whether they can use a litterbox. Also, the Pikes learn about Alzheimer’s! Merry Christmas, folks! On today’s agenda: a litany of crimes against food; the cool lesbian biker auntie we all wish we were; Mallory and Jessi’s shameful secret; it’s not crop theft if you know the farmer; some remarks about aging that are frankly uncalled-for; cut-rate ectoplasm detectors are a false economy; Claudia Kishi, old-person whisperer; Esther’s cat chooses violence. Our theme song is ‘The Incredible Shrinking Larry’ by Matt Oakley and ‘Big Band Jingle A’ is by Lobo Loco, both on the Free Music Archive.

    Stacey's Ex-Best Friend

    OMG, Laine’s coming to Stoneybrook! Unfortunately, she’s become a huge pain in the ass! And she’s way beyond pigs. Thank goodness Kristy’s here to be loudly unimpressed. Meanwhile, we plan for extremely specific hypothetical fights among our various children. On today’s agenda: Chekhov’s bathtub; respecting your friends by blowing up their graves; everyone’s favourite sleepover movie; china clown fandom rise up; seasonal rodent copyright law; bringing back 1910s slang to prove a point; adventures in prune art; a tasteful anecdote from Karen and Esther's school days; half a borough of fun; the crucial differences between a casual red outfit and a trendy red outfit.

    Dawn’s Big Date

    OMG, Dawn’s got a big date, some homemade sweat skirts, a repertoire of PUA techniques, and a new personality! Also there’s some terrible stuff about fat-shaming. Meanwhile, we sample authentic Californian cuisine, learn about amino acids, and make some travel plans we may come to regret. Simpering wistfully into the void; a black hole of dysfunction; alcohol and violence and sexy postcards and eating in front of the TV; a romantic afternoon in the chastity barn; an extremely overdressed lump; a duckface epiphany; ill-advised pieces of mail through history; a tasteful tribute to Southern culture; outfits that go from day to synagogue to night; SOY; giving a small but non-zero amount of fucks; failing upwards into a relationship; The Secret for men; Panic! At the Movie Theatre; Dawn invents emo fashion. Our theme song is ‘The Incredible Shrinking Larry’ by Matt Oakley and ‘Big Band Jingle A’ is by Lobo Loco, both on the Free Music Archive.

    Episode 57: Jessi's Wish

    OMG, Jessi’s got a wish! Because this is an Ann book, everyone’s wishes are heavily Disneyworld-focused. Ann also bravely raises some tough questions about tragic childhood illnesses, and then less bravely proceeds to answer exactly none of them.
